YDSE: Fringe Width & Fringe Positions

In a Young's double slit experiment, if there is no initial phase difference between the light from the two slits, a point on the screen corresponding to the fifth minimum has path difference

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. nnth minimum: path difference =(2n−1)λ2= \frac{(2n-1)\lambda}{2}
  2. For n=5n = 5: 9λ2\frac{9\lambda}{2}
  3. So the answer is (d) 9λ2\frac{9\lambda}{2}.
